Now several months into his controversial return to WWE at SummerSlam last August, Brock Lesnar is once more in the complete swing of things, including being set for a WrestleMania 42 match with up and coming star Oba Femi. But now at 49 years old, and still engulfed within the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, which accuses McMahon of sex trafficking, abuse, and attempting to sex traffic Grant to Lesnar, this recent run for Lesnar seems unlikely to last more than a pair more years. And it seems nobody is more aware of that than Lesnar himself.
On Tuesday, Lesnar was interviewed by the hockey podcast “Spittin Chiclets,” and talked about his wrestling profession leading up so far. Contrasting now being a veteran within the locker room in comparison with his earlier years, Lesnar proceeded to make some interesting statements regarding why he selected to return to WWE after his two 12 months hiatus, seemingly ignoring the Grant lawsuit or its role in his absence. As a substitute, Lesnar claimed his return was attributable to his family, while also insinuating that fans shouldn’t expect to see him around for a very long time.
“I went back to work so I could feed my kids,” Lesnar said. “You guys should see my grocery bill. So yeah…no, I left the corporate years ago. And I’m grateful that I’m back for a short while here. I’m really grateful for all of the opportunities that I’ve had in my life.”
Lesnar didn’t make clear whether he meant he could be retiring following this run with WWE, or if he would simply return to hiatus with the potential to return again further down the road. The uncertainty of Lesnar’s status will likely add more intrigue to his Mania match with Femi, which former WWE stars Matt Hardy and Rikishi have said Femi should win.
